Do a search. This topic has been covered lots of times. Basically, pre AU, no can do, diff
offset, AU and onwards, have similar offset and same stud pattern. But do not forget the
spigot diameter (the centre hole of the wheel must be a snug fit onto the axel stub as that
is what carries the weight, not the studs).

Yeh i reckon they look great, but i might be slightly biased :P.
The stud patterns are the same pre-au to post-au, it's the offset which is your problem. The post-au falcons have a similar offset to the magna, depends on how wide the rims you're getting are as to whether they'll stick out at all.

20" hey, must be aftermarket. Definitely need to check offset and also the spigot diameter
as most aftermarket wheels are manufactured with the largest spigot diameter required
and tyre places fit spigot rings if the cars axel stub has a smaller diameter. Please read up
on what can happen when the studs are bearing the weight of the car and they break
while you are driving.

Yeah thats tounch and go.. depends how low your car is.. my is very low.. my 20s wont even let me get my fingers between tyres and guards.. If mine wasnt a VRX the wheels wouldnt of got under rear guards...

Try them on and see how you go..
